For most of the verse, the guitar is playing D with a hammer-on
to G every measure :

If it seems like I've been lost in let's remember
REIf you think I'm feeling older and missing my younger days
SOLOh, then you should have known me much better
Cause my past is something that never
REGot in my way oh no
RE
Still I would not be here now if I never had the hunger
REAnd I'm not ashamed to say the wild boys were my friends
Cause I never felt the desire 'til their music set me on fire

And then I was saved, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
REKeeping the faith
--- verse ---
We wore matador boots
Only Flagg Brothers had them with the Cuban heel
Iridescent socks with the same color shirt
And a tight pair of chinos
I put on my shark skin jacket
You know the kind with the velvet collar
And ditty-bop shades
I took a fresh pack of Luckies
And a mint called Sen-Sen
My old man's Trojans
And his Old Spice after shave
Combed my hair in a pompadour
Like the rest of the Romeos wore
A permanent wave yeah
We were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith
--- bridge ---
You can get just so much from a good thing
LA SOL REYou can linger too long in your dreams
LA SOL RESay goodbye to the oldies but goodies
Cause the good old days weren't always good
LA7And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
--- verse ---
Learned stickball as a formal education
Lost a lot of fights nut it taught me how to lose O.K.
I heard about sex but not enough
I found you could dance and still look tough anyway
I found out a man ain't just being macho
Ate an awful lot of late night drive-in food drank a lot of take-home pay
I thought I was the Duke of Earl when I made it with a red-haired girl
In a Chevrolet
We were keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith

You know the good old days weren't always good

RE
Now I told you my reasons for the whole revival
Now I'm going outside to have an ice cold beer in the shade
SOLI'm going to listen to my 45's, ain't it wonderful to be alive
